I'm sure we've had this before, but here goes again:
After a long wet and cold winter how nice to be able to dry sheets etc on the line (whirly thing) watch them getting a good blow and then ironing them 'straight from the line'.

Oldgreymare.

I love the smell and feel of outside dried washing.

Pity my neighbours though. When my knickers are hung out, Pilots think they are a windsock for E Mids Airport. grin

Who are you Chris1111? Why have you pm'd me? I haven't opened the message because there was no message and you got my name wrong.
Dodgy.

I see plenty of bedding hung out windows here, sometimes even when it is raining! I love hanging out for my daughter in New Zealand and it dries in an hour.
My life is full of simple pleasures, most of which cost nothing. I like putting a hot water bottle under my duvet and then snuggling down holding the bottle. It is so effective, I never need to turn on my radiator.
I am looking forward to finding the first primroses and wild crocuses in the forests but it won't be a while yet, as it is now snowing hard enough to block my TV signal.
Getting pms from my grandchildren and my grand-daughter-in-law always brightens my day and often there are photos of my great-gds.
I really enjoy driving, although obviously that costs money, but I don't need to go very far to visit lovely towns like Annecy and Evian-les-Bains.
In summer, I swim in a lake surrounded by towering mountains.

Chatting on Gransnet and a couple of other sites is always enjoyable even when I get embroiled in heated debates.

And, of course, my favourite activity is free - walking in the mountains.

Its great that so many of us agree about something-'Blowing in the Wind' When I moved to this house 5 yrs ago it gave me such pleasure to be able to hang washing outside on the line after 7 years in a flat where we were not allowed to even drape washing over the window-sill !!

Sometimes we struggle too hard for the big things and forget that life can be full of lots of simple pleasures; and they all add up.
